alleryThe technique used to establish a person's identity from the unique DNA sequence in any part of their body is:
ADNA fingerprinting
BGene therapy
CEmbryo transfer
DOrganic farming
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. DNA fingerprinting
1. Every person's DNA sequence is unique, like a fingerprint.
2. Establishing identity from this DNA is called DNA fingerprinting, useful in forensic science.
3. Gene therapy treats disorders, embryo transfer aids breeding and organic farming avoids chemicals; none establish identity.
